Xiaomi‘s ecological chain has launched its first
electronic paper device with a 10.3-inch display and a stylus pen. The product
is named “Ink Case Smart Electronic Paper” and it comes with a steep 2,499 yuan
(US$ 361) price tag.
The e-Paper adopts a white body and flat design with
an ultra-light magnesium alloy middle frame, which is about two-third the size
of an iPad. The tablet doesn’t emit light itself as it uses an e-ink display
screen. When the content on the electronic paper is not updated within a short
period, the ink drops are in a stable state with no flicker, thus the device
has low power consumption.
As stated, the device comes with a 10.3-inch screen
with the effective display area being about 3 times the size of the mainstream
6-inch e-book reader due to the tiny bezels. The resolution reaches 1404×1872
pixels, more than the pixel size of an FHD TV screen. The large display area
and high resolution are very suitable for reading professional information,
especially text contents. The device comes with lots of resources for readers
comprising publications, original novels and comic books.
The device comes with a Wacom electromagnetic stylus
which supports 4096-level pressure sensing with a sampling rate of 360
times/second without charging. The smart algorithm of the ink case smart
electronic paper can recognize handwritten letters as text, which is convenient
for saving, searching and backing up. Thus you can write on the screen with the
stylus and have the entire document saved for future reference. The stylus has
a pure white body.
Ink case smart electronic paper uses Android 8.1
system, optimized for electronic ink display. It can be connected to the
internet via Wi-Fi, so you can install your favorite apps. The device comes
with a built-in 32GB storage and 2GB of RAM and can store about 10,000 pdf
files (calculated in 3MB per file).
